TRAD TKO Boxing Gym

INDEE ROSE TRUST

By Rio

London – Thursday, 6th September 2012

Queensberry Promotions Show Their Support For Indee Rose Trust

Over the past couple of years the Boxing Fraternity have shown their support for the Indee Rose Trust, both with the participation in the annual TRAD TKO Boxing Gym’s Boxers & Celebrities Charity Football Tournament and the gifts of memorabilia for auction at various events throughout the year.

Francis and George Warren today added a new dimension, by contacting TRAD TKO head honcho and Indee Rose Trust Patron  with the generous offer to fundraise at their Queensberry Promotions BoxAcademy event, headlined by Tony Conquest versus Ian Tims for the vacant WBO International Cruiserweight title,  at York Hall in Bethnal Green this coming Friday.

Earlier today Francis explained how this came about, “Over the years Johnny has done a fantastic job with the football tournament, so much so that the Indee Rose Trust and Boxing have become intrinsically linked.

George and I felt that the support from the boxing fraternity for the Indee Rose Trust shouldn’t be limited to that single event and decided to make Johnny and the Indee Rose Trust team the offer to  fundraise, for this very worthwhile cause, at our upcoming BoxAcademy event.”

Following receiving the offer Johnny said “Further to Ian Bailey fighting on Francis and George Warren’s show on Friday for his first title, I would also like to bring to the attention of the public that they are to allow us to fundraise for the Indee Rose Trust  Charity that I am a proud Patron of.

On behalf of the Indee Rose Trust I would like to thank Francis and George for their kind  and generous gesture.

It’s the first time that a promoter has allowed us to raise funds for the Indee Rose Trust so please come down and support the Indee Rose, Queensberry promotions and the fighters on Friday. ”
